Yes, Circle Round is fantastic! I'd definitely call that a good parents' book. So happy to see good Pagan parenting books out there. :) I'm guessing you use Circle Round with your own family? Also, HI, Colleen! It's been forever!

I love that recommendation, for obvious reason. :) Definitely adding it to my list! Do you read it only during the Solstice, or do you find it a good year-round book? OH, thank you, hon!

Thank you for sharing! :) I've never heard of the series before, but they look absolutely wonderful and I would LOVE to add them to my list... both here and my own wish list. Is there a site where these can be found, like a specific author site? As for Florida, that would be great! I believe you sent me an email not long ago (I still need to respond to that -- slacking Steph is slacking!), so I'd love to talk about that, too. I think it'd be wonderful to have some diverse books in the school library! I'll be honest and say that I'm not sure if religious books will be permitted as it IS a public school, but the neutral titles would absolutely work! Let's talk. :) Welcome to TCC, by the way!

I'm sure I'll refer back here sometime. I was just looking at some pagan kids books on Amazon the other day. I'm also a big fan of Circle Round, which isn't technically a kids book, but contains a lot of kid's stories and rituals oriented toward families with children. What an awesome resource!

It's particularly good for our family because it's about a mixed Christian/Jewish household and the main character in the book meets a Witch who has some good things to say about some of the similarities to be found in the celebrations around the winter solstice.

It's the first in a series of books written specifically for Pagan children. This title was released in February 2011, with our second title, "Rupert's Tales: The Wheel of the Year - Samhain, Yule, Imbolc and Ostara" to be released next month. Both of these titles can be found everywhere online. Additionally, "Rupert's Tales: The Wheel of the Year Activity Book" will also be released next month, and our third hardcover, "Rupert's Tales: Rupert Helps Clean Up" will be released in fall 2012. These titles are already listed for pre-ordering on major booksellers' websites. One of the neatest things about Rupert's Tales is that they are "appropriate" from cradle to grave because they rhyme, so they're fun to read. Please feel free to do a search for my name or one of our titles in order to find reviews (including a really terrific one by Patti Wigington) so you can get an idea of what our furry friend has to offer. And, Stephanie, we live in Florida too, so I'd love to meet with your Mom if you like. Thanks so much!

I'm glad they're made available, and we should absolutely have more authors willing to throw their literary gifts into the mix. Hi there, Tori! Hope you had a great New Year!

I agree though; it's a bit disappointing that Pagan books are so under represented while books for some other faiths are all over the place. Of course, there's always the option of telling your own versions of the adult stories and simplifying them for the child.
